A Picture Book a Day for a Year: Day 49

Dynamic Duo: Book 2

Picture Book:Miss Rumphius

Author & Illustrator: Barbara Cooney Summary: Since she was a young girl Miss Rumphius, aka the Lupine Lady, has been inspired by the way her grandfather traveled the world, lived by the sea, and made the world more beautiful. For Miss Rumphius, the latter is lived out as she scatters countless lupine seeds.

Hanna’s Comments: This book is a Dynamic Duo partner with The Gardener, the previous PBT offering. These 2 books are both about lovingly spreading beauty and joy with flowers.The lupine blooms along the Maine coast today are the legacy of a real Miss Rumphius who scattered the seeds everywhere she went. The concept of “legacy” would be a wonderful idea to explore when reading this book to your audience. Publisher & Date of Publication: Puffin, 1982
